Things that make you inexplicably angry

[ElsaMars]

Things, not people.

Here's mine, when my 8 year old creeps out from randomly hiding from me and shouts 'boo!' which she does quite often, I always yell 'Jesus Christ!' (I never normally say it) and feel the most massive anger, its bizarre.

Also, people beeping their car horns as a greeting and loud motorbikes.

Tights falling down - usually walking through town where I can't hoik them up.
Bra straps falling off shoulders
Wind and rain and struggling with an umbrella puts me in a foul mood.
People talking in stage whispers in shops - I'm not interested in your conversation - why are you doing this?
Banging my head - makes me want to explode with rage for some reason.

Littering. Especially when people park up, stuff their faces with maccy dees then dump it all on the floor and drive off when there is a bin not even 10 yards away. Grr.

Morrisons self service tills saying surprising item in bagging area. I am not surprised about my purchases.

People trying to talk to me when I am in the bathroom. Just fuck off. FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME IN PEACE.

When someone shares a FB post about a random dog or cat that has gone missing (always miles and miles away) pleading with everyone to keep an eye out for it. Let's face it, the chances of a dog managing to travel over 50 miles in a few hours is vanishingly small never going to happen.

Infact, the whole rabid cult of animal worship on FB irritates me - and it's always accompanied by poorly written posts (my other hate). Don't get me wrong, I like animals, I do. But I'm never going to cry or rage over a rabbit that got run over in a while other country FFS.

The Mumsnet peri-menopause link bumps you to Gransnet - that's alienating for a start, I don't identify as a Gran...
The list of symptoms is really basic.
And the reason I look on here is for the interesting and frank forums, none of that, instead its trending "How to dress over 50"... Like some outdated Daily FeMail article.

Stupid bloody chain Facebook posts, either where you get tagged and asked to do something stupid or those 'awareness' ones that are accompanied by a passive aggressive "I know 90% of people won't repost this"... FUCK OFF!

Oh and the phrase 'holibobs'.

A nearly empty shampoo bottle that can't stay standing up.

Putting something at the top of my handbag but finding it's lost at the bottom when I need it 10 minutes later

When people take your photo without asking. Bonus irritation points if they post it to Social media.

Anyone who does anything with the intention of it 'going viral' or to 'raise awareness'

When I'm trying to tell someone a funny story but they keep trying to guess the outcome before I've finished.

Agree that missing pets won't wander for 100s of miles on their own so don't share it with me on Facebook. (I Hope they find it though ! )
Plus the ' think of a dog / cat name without an e in it ' there are loads. It's pointless and silly ( still post up something though !)
I also hate the whole ' I used to drink from water pipes and stay out all day and night at eight years old and I survived ' type posts. Actually I didn't go out that much ' to play ' as a kid and I was born in the 60s. It was only during the six weeks hols and only aged about 11 or 12 for a short time up the local park until it was dinner time ( it was a tough area even then)
Drinking from people's water pipes was not an option either oddly enough!!

Anyone sticking their tongue out in photos. Why?!

The people that didn't survive their 70s upbringing with no car seats and playing in rivers and building sites aren't around to post on Facebook!

I hate people sticking out tongues as well. Sticking out bums and tongues seems to have replaced duck face. Which doesn't look as bad in comparison

When sauce and syrup bottles leak and I pick it up and it makes my hand sticky

Crumbs in the butter

People beeping their horns as greetings is my pet hate also If I’m driving I could cause a crash as I’m shocked and distracted and look around to check I’ve done nothing wrong

I also get very angry on behalf of others treated unfairly or unkindly
That story in the papers this morning about a pregnant mother being made to deliver her baby in a mask is so cruel.
Even when she ripped it off as she felt so ill , she was made to put it back on again.

Absolutely shocking.
Where’s the compassion
I’m furious and sad in equal measure

Argh..yes tongues just awful I’ll never erase from memory that one of Meghan markle So icky

The pull here tabs on ham, bacon, etc that never work and just break off in my hand, so I have to get a knife and try to hack it open (and then wash up said knife!)
Yes yes to “unexpected item in the bagging area”.
Bra straps (I now mostly wear crop top style bras).
Periods (yes I know 50% of the population have them, no mine aren’t particularly troublesome, but man I can’t wait to never have to deal with that again).
People parking in blue badge spaces without a blue badge.

@WineandWellies

That it's only me who ever changes the empty toilet roll, put a wash on, clean the pots etc etc etc. That my partner seems to dump his kids on me at every opportunity That said children bicker incessantly, leave a trail of destruction that I'm expected to clear up and have no concept of personal space. That I've had words with my partner today about him disappearing for over an hour to work every morning and leaving me to get said kids ready for school. That he's kicked off at my suggestion that he take them to the school breakfast club an hour early if he needs to work, rather than dumping them on me. That me being too ill to go to work today has had no affect on this dynamic and they were left with me anyway. That its close to ruining a close and happy relationship between said kids and me, because I'm getting resentful and snappy and keep effing off when I sense they're about to be dumped on me.

I've had it this morning, can you tell?

Yes and I feel for you When I feel unwell, often, I like to be left alone Not caretaking other people.

@lydia2021

A hot sunny day with the waft of dog mess from neighbours garden.. no they dont pick it up.. smell is revolting

Omg How gross is that. I would never have imagined it could be that bad ( don’t worry I believe you )

Everything at the moment tbh.

@gracelessladyhottramp

Kids getting on the bed while I'm changing sheets gives me the rage.

I could never stand children jumping on beds anyway Mine were never allowed or grandkids either

Lateness. I can't abide people who are late or text you at the time you're supposed to meet with"running 15mins late Hun"...don't f**king Hun me

And the Facebook posts declaring they are in hospital/had a horrific day. Followed by "what's up Hun?" Then "I will PM you".

People not believing me when I'm telling the truth.

People lying about saying something/denying that they said something - just blatantly saying 'no I didn't'.

Argh - winding me up just thinking about it!!

People who signal as they are turning the corner. Too bloody late!

People who think ignoring you is the same as saying no. ‘Fancy meeting for a coffee?’ They read it, never acknowledge it.

My BIL who says nasty things but thinks he’s being witty, problem is he’s dim and doesn’t understand the difference.

Putting away clean washing. Hate it. Even though the house looks so much better without washing strewn around.

OH stomping around the house. He is naturally heavy footed, but he makes no effort not to stomp around. Our house has particularly wobbly and creaky floorboards and I'm amazed that he's still alive after 14 months of us both working at home together.

I had loads more but on reflection, my anger from them is obvious and warranted rather than inexplicable.

Getting anything open such as jars or meat that's vacuum packed is a pain. It's true that ' peel here ' is but a big fat lie! Doesn't work.
Same with zip lock bags of cheese. It can be tricky to get it just right as I hack along the top bit.
My hair is annoying when it's wet and hangs around my face. Hate it.
